All of them have 2 engines, an emergency toilet, a ladder to easily go in and out the water and a canopy for sun protection. All our staff are highly specialized and will be by your side from beginning to end of the experience to make sure everything goes perfectly well. Our goal is to make this our snorkeling tour – swimming with the whale sharks the most unforgettable experience you will have in Mexico.

About Your Trip

To get to our Marina Marazul in Puerto Juarez you may look the location in Google Maps or the link below. You'll need to get there at 7:15am please, you may safely park your car there while on the tour:

About the Tour:

You will receive a briefing on the tour and be provided with complementary coffee, fruit juice and sweet rolls. Once everything has been explained and all of your questions have been answered we will board the boat and head out to sea.

It is important to be aware that in order to find and see the whale sharks we go out to open waters and sometimes it is rough. Most of the time the conditions are very good or perfect and everything goes well but as we all know the sea changes every minute and the conditions are sometimes not that good including rough sea and rain.

When it is too rough or dangerous the port is closed by the Port Master and we never go out in this case but sometimes even when it does not look very good if we are allowed to run the tour we do go out as all the other companies do.

You will be back at the marina before 2:00pm if the weather conditions allow us to finish early unless you prefer we drop you off in Isla Mujeres so you can know the place, in this case you will need to take the ferry back to the Cancun side by your own means afterwards.

If you purchase a tour online with us that price is reduced to just $160 if you get by your own means to our marina by 7:15am.
